Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Overall rating: 7/10 Not at all my cup of tea, but after that stunning album closer, I am interested in hearing more! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Give me another album. Can be Steely Dan or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 What do you do when everything you listen to, all the music you have, starts to become...oh, I don't know how else to describe this...stale? You can take an extended break from listening to music of any kind even though that's an impossible task for me. It may help freshen things up later. Search the internet/youtube. Though wading through all the crap out there until you find something you like can be a chore. Do you have an iPod? If you put it on shuffle, sometimes a song/band will come up that you haven't heard in ages and it will peak your interest in them. Happened to me a number of times doing this. There's also the possibility that you've outgrown music completely and will have to give up listening to it forever ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Time for something else. Tom Waits- Rain Dogs A bit out of my comfort zone, again. Which is what I am in the mood for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 2. Clap Hands What on earth is this? I smell genius. Someone needs to visualise the sounds I see in my head...it is pretty trippy. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) 3. Cemetery Polka A song by song summary is missing the point, this is like an art film on record, each song a bizzare scene in a montage of mad genius visions. This is ridiculously enjoyable. I feel hesitant calling this music, it is something more than that. Theatrical. 9/10 Edited August 13, 2015 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 4. Jockey Full Of Bourbon So far, my favourite. Why? Not sure, but the atmosphere conjured by all this understated musicianship is ridiculous! Less is more. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 5. Tango 'til They're Sore Is this man a pirate? Arg, matey... The plinkity plonkity piano is funky fresh. I feel like I should be taking this seriously but it makes me laugh. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 8. Hang Down Your Head This starts off sounding like an actual song. I was almost disappointed, but thankfully it's still very odd! In contrast to the rest, this is almost a pop song! 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 10. Rain Dogs Time was a downbeat beauty. This track follows it up, and once again I am intrigued by the sounds! I find it all quite similar, but the playfulness and little quirks here and there keep me beyond entertained. Mick, is this a concept album? Anyway, the title track is full of awesome drumming, I love this! 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 13. Gun Street Girl This song reminds me a lot of Springsteen's early, unreleased songs. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 14. Union Square I am trying to be patient. I want to replay 9th and Hennepin, but I will wait. Another SUPERB song! Is this song mocking Springsteen's I'm Going Down? I am sure its not, it just gives me that vibe! 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 4. Jockey Full Of Bourbon So far, my favourite. Why?

Segue Myles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) 15. Blind Love Either I am getting used to his style, or as this album nears the finish line the songs become more and more...song like?! Great song. Strongly reminded of early Springsteen (the sort that didn't see release), a smidge of Bob Dylan and stacks of style. Beautiful. 8/10 Edited August 13, 2015 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
